    Internet data shows that American younger adults have become the primary group mad about altering their personal appearance. Once the realm of the well-to-do female【C1】______ her fifties, plastic surgery has become the attraction of the least rich segment of younger Internet users.
    Search data【C2】______ this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term "plastic surgery" is the【C3】______ site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Over 25% of visitors to the site fell within the 18- to 24-year-old demographic(特定年龄段的人群)—that’s up from 19.6% two years ago.
    Looking at other health related sites visited by 18- to 24-year-olds, reveals just how mad this age group is about appearance. Unlike their older counterparts who visit sites related to【C4】______ and keeping healthy, younger Internet users flock to sites that dwell on personal appearance, such as those【C5】______ on bodybuilding, weight loss and skincare. And definitely plastic surgery.
    But if we track the trend in searches on topics such as "breast implants" or "plastic surgery," there has been a steep decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. What’s【C6】______ this downturn? It may very well be related to the failing U.S. economy and the predominant income group of visitors to cosmetic surgery sites—U.S. households that【C7】______ less than $30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most【C8】______ appearing qualifier(限定词). We see more searches such as "breast implant cost" and "plastic surgery cost". While older demographics continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough【C9】______ times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, although at a(n)【C10】______ price.

选项

答案 B

解析 空格前是代词those,空格后是介词短语。由such as可知,those...是对前面说的年轻网民访问的关注个人外貌的网站(sites that dwell on personal appearance)的举例说明,故those后面的内容应该是后置定语,表明具体是些什么样的网站,因此应填入分词,该词能与后面的介词on搭配,并表达出与“关注”(dwell on)相近的意思。词库中的focused“使聚焦,使集中”符合要求,be focused on sth.表示“关注某事物”。
